Abstract

The problem of dynamic part routing in an automated manufacturing system is described. The system consists of workstations capable of performing a number of different operations on a family of parts. In view of the unreliability of machines the production control system should manage the production schedule, given the random pattern of machine failure/repair. A three-level hierarchial control structure is suggested and simulated, using stochastic generation of events and part movements. The obtained results show that a production profile derived under the developed controller is feasible.
